A member asked:

Took out my contacts but eye feels like its got something under the lid(scratchy) feeling what could it be haven't put my contacts in for a week ?

Small corneal: abrasion: quite common with contact lenses and requires an eye examination and simple eye testing for abrasion of the corneal. I suggest leaving contacts out until seen by your physician or ophthalmologist.
